Fixing Ryzen 7000 - PBO2 Tune (insanity)

Check prices on Amazon below

Ryzen 7000 runs really hot and absolutely chugs power out of the box - but we can fix that!

This is some of the most practical and easy-to-understand advice out there. Great video as always!

11 months on and this guide is still the absolute GOAT, for 7xxx series CPU's optimisation.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. I'm not upgrading this generation, but it's still good to see you reduce temps without sacrificing performance.

[BAdventures]

This really shows the 5nm efficiency. The true performance we wanted to see. Great reporting 👍

[troywalt]

That's great, incredible to drop temps by 30 degrees

New set looks amazing, the colors the lighting.
Presentation is on par, the clear graphs and narative of the info, clarity of instructions 10\10!
Way to go, stylish and smart!

Dude, this is a masterclass in how to present complex information clearly. I understood everything I need to know, including why it works and what the trade-offs are, all in 7 minutes!

I'm glad I found this! Just built a 7700x system with a 240mm AIO Corsair cooler and I was sweating thinking it was undersized. Knowing the 7700x runs hot (by design?) made me feel a bit better but I still didn't like the 95C at max load. These settings did exactly what you said they would and I am relieved. Thank you!

Just a note, just because the Cinebench run was stable, it doesn't mean it will be stable on idle overnight. Keep that in mind if your pc randomly bluescreens or shuts down, you will want to back off that curve another 5 or so

[ArunShankartheRealOne]

Those who can't hit stable -30 on all cores, can try per ccx optimization, for instance in my 7950x the cc0 can only handle -20 offset, while cc1 handles -30 comfortably.

Exactly what I was waiting for after I saw the first few benchmarks, thank you for releasing this so quickly !

Coming to this late but this is hands down the best video I've seen about this. There aren't enough of these types of videos out there that actually show the steps taken in such a quick and succinct way and then lay out the results so clearly. Well done man. I'm sitting on a 5800X3D system right now so I don't have any reason to do much of anything right now, but I'm definitely eyeballing AMD for the eventual 7000X3D chip releases.

Undervotling is more attractive than overclocking
New future, old man!

[BrownStain_Silver]

These results are crazy for a BIOS setting adjustment. Those temperatures/voltage/power draw actually make these CPU's look attractive upgrading from AM4.

[cosmic_kid]

For your 7950x you should try individually setting PBO2 values for each core! Usually it’s one or two problem cores keeping it from being stable

[blubaustin]

My personal experience is the two best cores are either going to be at -5 or 0, then the rest can go way down. Reason is those two best cores are already as effecient as they get, and if you try to go much lower you run into idle crashes.

Videos like this is very helpful. No clickbait, no side topic, no side jokes, just sticking to the topic in the most simple way. Thank you!

[DanDan-lihr]

Lets appreciate his attention to visuals. Nice video production. That background really matching the ryzen theme and feel

[goranstewart]

Received my 7900X this morning. Now waiting for the motherboard to arrive! Thank you for the information.

I just tried this on my new 7700X that I got today and wow, yeah, it totally works. Curve set to -30, max temp at 85 C, max power at 85 W. Got through a full 10-minute Cinebench R23 multi-core run just fine, with only a minor drop in performance. Temperatures maxed out at 63 C. I'll probably be dialing back things a little bit, maybe curve at -15 and max power at 100 W, to guarantee stability and perhaps eke out a little more performance as well.
